The console offers two heart rate programs: the FAT
BURN program and the AEROBIC program. Each
program will automatically control the speed and
incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near
predetermined settings. Follow the steps below to use
a heart rate program.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.
Select the desired heart rate program.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will
automatically be selected, as shown by the MANUAL
indicator. Press the PROGRAM SELECT button
repeatedly until the FAT
BURN or AEROBIC
indicator lights. The
TIME/PACE display will
show that the program
will last for 30 minutes,
and the letters ÒAGEÓ
will begin to flash in the SPEED/INCLINE display.
Note: If the walking belt is moving when a heart
rate program is selected, the walking belt will slow
to a stop. In addition, if the incline of the treadmill is
higher than 1.5%, it will automatically decrease to
1.5%.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
heart rate program. See HOW TO USE THE
CHEST PULSE SENSOR on page 7.
Enter your weight, if desired.
If your weight is entered into the console, the
console will more accurately measure the calories
and fat calories you burn. To enter your weight, see
step 4 on page 12.
Enter your age.
You must enter your age into the console to use
a heart rate program. To enter your age, press
one of the SET AGE
buttons. The current age
setting will appear in the
SPEED/INCLINE display.
Press the SET AGE
buttons again to enter
your age. Each time one of the buttons is pressed,
the age setting will change by 1 year. If one of the
buttons is held down, the age setting will change in
increments of 5 years. Once your age is entered, it
will be saved in the consoleÕs memory. If you have
already entered your age, you must press one
of the SET AGE buttons to verify the age setting.
Press the START button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the
handrails and begin walking.
As the program progresses, the speed and incline
of the treadmill will change periodically to keep
your heart rate near predetermined settings, shown
by the graphs on the left side of the console. When
only ten seconds remain in the program, the incline
of the treadmill will automatically decrease to 1.5%.
When no time remains in the TIME/PACE display,
the walking belt will slow to a stop and the program
will end.
Note: If your heart rate is not detected during the
program, the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the CALS./
FAT CALS./PULSE display and the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease.
See CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-
SHOOTING on page 7.
Note: To stop the program for a moment, press the
STOP/PAUSE button. All displays will pause and
the TIME/PACE display will begin to flash. To
restart the program, press the START button. To
end the program before it is completed, hold down
the STOP/PAUSE button for two seconds.
Note: While the program is running, minor adjust-
ments can be made to the speed and incline of the
treadmill with the SPEED and INCLINE buttons.
However, if you increase the speed, the incline will
automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed,
the incline will increase. If you increase the incline,
the speed will automatically decrease; if you
decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The
console will always attempt to keep your heart rate
near predetermined settings. When the incline
reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be
increased any further. When the incline reaches
the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased
any further.
